About this map

The Saint Lawrence River archipelago defines this international borderland, dominated by the intricate waterways of the American Narrows and the island-studded expanse of Lake of the Isles. Centered on the village of Alexandria Bay, the landscape reflects a century of maritime recreation and transit, anchored by the Thousand Islands Bridge connecting to Collins Landing. The intricate shoreline is peppered with named islands like Pullman Island and Belle Island, many featuring individual shoals and points that have guided river traffic for generations.

Away from the riverfront, the map details the rural interior of Jefferson Co, New York, where inland settlements such as Omar and Alexandria Center are situated. Numerous family-centric burial grounds, including Houghton Cem and Riverside Cem, provide valuable geographic markers for genealogical research. The transition from the marshy lowlands of Barnett Marsh and Black Ash Swamp to small aviation hubs like Maxson Airfield illustrates the diverse land use in this river valley region.
